At Flexico, the respect of the environment is at the heart of our approach to innovation. We emphasize our efforts in bringing reclosable, and reusable packaging solutions to the market. Additional efforts have been carried out to improve our manufacturing processes which enables us to offer more eco-responsible solutions.
Flexico is proud to present a new reusable zipper reel which has been designed to meet the needs of businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact. This new zipper reel will be available for all the zipper range that Flexico brings to the market.
The new reels will be manufactured from durable and resistant materials, helping to reduce its’ carbon footprint.
Thanks to their re-usability, these reels contribute to a significant reduction in plastic waste, offering a responsible alternative to single-use solutions. Our commitment translates into products that combine performance, practicality and respect for the environment, facilitating everyone to adopt more sustainable practices.

How to dismantle our reels ?
To disassemble our reels, gently lift the tabs located at the center of the flange and turn the flange clockwise.
It is important to disassemble the reel flanges carefully to avoid breaking them.
Once the first flange is disassembled, you can do the same with other flange.
Please note, it is not necessary to disassemble the reel core prior to returning them to our workshop.

Flexico, a player in the circular economy with the reuse of its’ zipper reels.
Reuse is an important aspect of our company roadmap, whether in terms of the packaging we sell or the packaging components we use.
Reuse is also one of the four pillars of the new European regulation (PPWR).

Why use reusable reels ?
The primary benefit is the reduction of the carbon footprint, with over 2kgs of plastic material saved per reel. This represents a saving of 2 tons of plastic for every 1000 reels, and a reduction of 6.4 tons of CO2 emissions.
Along with these environmental benefits, customers will also save on waste sorting and reduce non-recyclable waste, with no additional costs involved.
By using reusable reels, you contribute to the circular economy and help preserve the planets’ resources.
What are the savings on destruction?
Today, the cost of non-recyclable waste disposal in France is estimated at 182 € per ton, which equals to 0.38 € per reel. For a 1000 reels, the savings can represent 380 €.
The recovery of the empty reels will be carried out directly by Flexico during the delivery of the next reel batch order delivery. No extra transport costs will be implied when the minimum retrievable volume is reached.
